SEREMBAN – The Madani community needs to play an active role in helping to channel verified and accurate information in addition to continuously promoting government initiatives at the grassroots level, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.
He said the community must also help the government explain and deal with issues, slander, and fake news that come in various forms, especially in the run-up to the upcoming state elections.
“For instance, Bank Negara Malaysia today announced that it was maintaining the OPR (overnight policy rate) at 3%, so I am urging the Madani community on social media, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and the latest, Threads, to disseminate this information to the grassroots.
“Don’t let people believe the talk that the OPR rate had gone up and so on. And so, the Madani community, when there are announcements and good news from the government, must make sure they reach the people,” he said when officiating the state-level “Kita Madani” programme here today.
The Madani Community is a multiracial volunteer body managed by the Information Department with 1,878 units established across the country, 108 of which are in Negri Sembilan involving 36 state constituencies. – Bernama, July 6, 2023
